Its all pixels anyway



Actually, early on in AC there was nothing wrong at all with cashing in those 113 bows on ebay.



haha good times. Any other MMO's worth $ these days? SOE shut down Livegamer, that experiment failed hard, not because of the system though, because EQ2 sucked! It was great money for a few years thoough. I loved being able to buy and sell toons safely and keep them on your main account. It was a sweet system, if you got bored of your class you could sell it and buy another toon, I ended up collecting so many different characters. Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever see a system like that again with all the cash shops taking hold.

Diablo 3 will be the big experiment in retro cash transactions...

It will have rare items and you will be able to sell them to other players.

The Secret World looks interesting. No classes or levels and 3 factions that are against each other during the day but work together at night.



I was about to mention that. They also are doing something with Facebook. You can't get into the beta without a facebook account.



This is absolutely untrue.
